Chapter 31: An Unexpected Unfolding
"You go and hide," Li Yu said to Adele, "get ready, if there are wounded, I will have someone send them to you." ”
The former priest knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so he nodded obediently and ran to the nearest cellar.
Obviously, there are only a few dozen steps, but when she runs, Adele feels that it is extremely long.
Halfway through the run, her legs were already shaking, and her body was stiffening.
Although she had come to Green Field to help the people here fight against the black dragon in the swamp, she couldn't help but feel fear when the black dragon was about to appear.
It's not about courage, it's just the biological instinct of the prey in the face of an apex predator.
In fact, as winter approached, the former priest could clearly feel that the atmosphere around him was becoming more and more tense, and the smiles on the lizardmen's faces were much less than usual.
It's like everyone is pulling a string.
Adele has been here for a while, and naturally she has heard a lot about the black dragon, and the more she knows, the more scared she becomes.
The monster seemed to have been born to kill.
The terrifying power, the speed that surpasses the cheetah, the scale armor that almost covers the whole body, plus the ability to fly and spit flames, is like a monster that has come out of myths and legends!
Perhaps only the gods can subdue it, and for ordinary people, its strength is undoubtedly too strong.
Just the thought that it was about to leave the swamp made the former priest's heart beat faster and his hands and feet cold.
She ran to the cellar in one go, and was about to go inside, but when she saw a female lizardman with two children not far behind her, Adele stopped again, got out of the way, and let them go in first.
She herself followed, and before the stone door of the cellar was closed, the former priest glanced in the direction where Li Yu was, and saw that the man was standing motionless in the open space outside the house, staring in the direction of the swamp.
The next moment, her heart felt like she had been hit hard by something, and this scene left an extremely deep impression on Adele!
When death was about to come, everyone was running in a panic, only that person stood calmly in place, staring at death!
There are also many big people in the Silvermoon Church, who talk about love and courage every day, but when disaster really strikes, they run faster than the other.
Few people dare to risk their lives, let alone write lightly like Li Yu, putting life and death out of the way.
Looking at the figure like a needle of the sea god, the former priest felt that his heartbeat had slowed down again, and he was not as panicked as before.
Adele closed the stone door, and the cellar was plunged into darkness.
Then she heard the sound of rapid breathing around her, which should be the two children of the female lizardman from before, so she said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, there is a prophet Merlin...... He will surely lead us to defeat the dragon. ”
Adele used the lingua franca of the mainland, and only after saying it did she realize that the two children probably didn't understand, but she was even more surprised that she, as a believer in the goddess Pisia, would say such a thing, and she didn't feel too much guilt in her heart.
It's like taking it for granted.
However, the former priest did not bother with this kind of thing anymore, because soon she heard the roar of filial piety coming from outside the stone gate.
The sound was obviously not from any known beast, but more like a mixture of many sounds, obviously not high-pitched, but reaching the ears as if they had been pricked by needles, which was unspeakably uncomfortable.
Adele couldn't help but worry about the people who were still outside, but the imaginary fire did not fall from the sky, and there was no sound of battle after that.
The people in the cellar waited for about ten minutes with apprehension, until Li Yu's voice sounded again, "Come out." ”
Then the former priest and several people around him worked together to push the stone door open.
Adele poked her head out of the cellar, looked left and right, and then asked Li Yu with a blank face, "What about the dragon?" ”
"Gone."
"Where did it go?"
"I don't know, our lookout only saw it flying east, it flew very fast, it didn't pay attention to us, and before our people could adjust the angle of the Neptune's halberd, it flew over us."
"To the east, that's not the direction of Teacup Castle?!" The former priest's face changed, and he lost his voice, "It's not good, Yin Leia, they are in danger!" ”
"You don't have to worry too much about them, as someone has already lit a beacon fire when the lookout spotted the dragon. Yin Leiya should have received the news by now, and she will hide in advance. ”
Regarding the plan to use the bomb shelter to defend the dragon, Li Yu of course also told Miss Rabbit.
And the latter is a little easier to implement than they are, the teacup castle itself is a very traditional aristocratic castle, with a dungeon and a wine cellar underneath, as long as these two places are emptied, and a little remodeling, it is a ready-made refuge.
As for the other granges in the green field, they have also followed suit, and have dug cellars one after another.
Moreover, the beacon fire, which originally heralded the attack of the lizardmen, has now been changed by Li Yu to an early warning of seeing the black dragon, and he has already held several joint exercises with Yin Leiya to ensure that non-combatants can be effectively protected when war comes.
An hour later, however, the carrier pigeon brought news that surprised everyone.
- The dragon didn't even pay attention to the landmark of the green field, and the tall and sturdy stone fortress of the Arias family on the hillside was given straight from above.
Disappeared into the sky.
Its move made Miss Rabbit stunned, not to say that Yin Leiya would be uncomfortable if she didn't let her hometown be roasted by the fire, mainly because she had made so many preliminary preparations and endured mental pressure for so long.
The girl and her fellow advisors dream every night about what to do with this horrific catastrophe, and when it comes, they turn around your door and run away.
Anyone will feel dizzy.
Of course, Yin Leiya didn't let her guard down, who knows if this dragon will deliberately let the prey relax its vigilance, and then suddenly kill back the carbine, with the cunning of the black dragon, it will not be surprising to do such a thing.
Therefore, she did not even order her soldiers to take off their armor, and simply left some of the women and children in the cellar, and everyone spent the night trembling.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
And then...... The black dragon didn't wait, but waited for a bad news.
Miss Rabbit listened to the messenger of the Yin Manuel family in front of her tell them about their tragic fate, and she couldn't help it, but actually laughed out loud.
